Finally, the two biggest questions about The Doobie Brothers and have been answered. Yes, they got their name from their habit of smoking a lot of ‘doobies’ (aka marijuana) and while adding Michael Macdonald to the lineup brought them the biggest success of their career, most of the band members, on reflection, regret the decision (nothing personal Michael). The Doobie Brothers started as a Northern California biker bar band who were happy just to play and make enough money to cover the bar tab. Then in 1971 they released the Toulouse Street album which spawned two hit singles, Listen to the Music and Jesus is Just Alright. The rest is rock and roll history that is still being lived by the remaining band members today. The disc is divided into two sections- a 90-minute documentary and 90 minutes worth of live footage. Both are worth watching; the concert is worth watching with the volume cranked up to 11.
